Lyndsay Thornton - Side A lyrics

[Verse 1] I turn over your heart Which moves And pebbles in my pond [Verse 2] Still warm from my pocket I toss it Across the waves He's skipping, ripple out Like a dream no longer clear And when I say I need you You sink And disappear [Hook] There's a force inside That buries me alive [Chorus] Welcome to your new life Dancing in the light that slips through the blinds Welcome to your new life Is it the paradise baby you hoped you'd find [Verse 3] I fumble through to her On a dusty and out of tune piano Sharpen my teeth along the riches of your words I climb out of my mind and into a disheveled bed I tingle in the sheets as I reach for you You say, to leave me is impossible And I'd bury you in time [Chorus 2] Welcome to your new life Dancing in the light that slips through the blinds Welcome to your new life Is it the paradise baby you hoped you'd find Dancing in the light See the paradise You hoped you'd... —— (4: 30) —— [Verse 1] Your face, the one that turned away Hiding in your fingers Rising to a fever when summer came The sky was painted grey You went back to college Every day apologizing You forgot my birthday And I forgot to say [Chorus] I'm not sorry that I met you I'm an american machine You are a feminist dream And when melancholy k**s the feeling I'll let it all wash away In the northwest rain And I'll just keep Breathing And I'll keep Breathing [Verse 2] I, I remember when, we were so oblivious Talked about our children first names All sounded the same What a reckless daydream The day you chose to leave here You wore black And like a silent movie No one heard the scream [Chorus] I'm not sorry that I met you I'm an american machine You are a feminist dream And when melancholy k**s the feeling I'll let it all wash away In the northwest rain And I'll just keep Breathing And I'll keep Breathing [Verse 3] When you crossed my mind The road just keeps unwinding Your memory starts to fade The one that walked away [Chorus] I'm not sorry that I met you I'm an american machine You are a feminist dream And when melancholy k**s the feeling I'll let it all wash away In the northwest rain And I'll just keep Breathing And I'll keep Breathing —— (7: 55) —— [Verse 1] It could have been a miscommunication A tequila holiday She said arachnids are Aways chasing her happiness away [Verse 2] Unimpressionable young madonna Ziggy stardust around her eyes I confessed with an oxford comma Wrote the devil's lullaby [Verse 3] Would you be my best friend lover? Would you be my summer valentine? I think I knew you in a past love, mamma Would you even miss me if I died? [Outro] Would you miss me if I died? —— (10: 08) —— [Verse 1] There she is A victim of her circumstances Stuck in between Her broken body and a fantasy [Chorus] And will she wake again Covered in pollution Like flowers in December cold with fear She always finds a way to disappear And I'll go on Alone [Verse 2] There she is Revising her heart's resolution Questioning it all Dreamless in a hospital [Chorus 2] And will we meet again Dream a new prescription The flowers from December bloom each spring I hope from time to time that she remembers me —— (12: 20) —— [Verse 1] Don't give up on me baby Remember us We've waited oh so long And I saved for you A place in my heart Where only you belong [Verse 2] Don't go and change for me now Be your modest child Even as you are falling apart I take for you Each bullet life shoots To keep you as you are [Verse 3] And with my last breath I'd say to you In the flashing red and blue You are more beautiful each day you grow older You are more beautiful each day you get through You are more beautiful each day you grow older And I wanted to grow old with you [Verse 4] Don't disappear Don't twist the knife I know we both could atone And I'd plead for you I'd die in your arms To prove I love you more To prove I love you more
